This is a good example of why you need to learn about Wifi, connecting to wireless networks, and not just assuming you are safe. It’s amazing how easily your credit card number can be stolen in a public Wifi hotspot.
Personally, when i am at a coffee shop or hotel, I make it a point NOT to do anything online I wouldn’t want someone knowing about. This includes email (unless encrypted) and any credit card transactions.
Not only can you be scammed as in the above video, but all the little packets of information you are sending from your computer are wafting through the air, along with the coffee bean aroma, there for anyone with the knowhow to sniff out and record.
Oh, and where do the hottie hackers like the woman in this video hide out anyway???
